Installation and Integration of Virtual Clusters onto Pragma Grid NAIST Nara, Japan Kevin Lam 07/17/13
Week 5: Finishing the Tests • There was a problem with assigning different tasks to each virtual machine. The cause seemed to stem from Open MPI not being compatible with Dock6. • MPICH, another implementation of MPI, was installed and used instead. • firewall problem which prevented jobs from being sent out was declared a non-issue. It would be taken down for local cluster usage. During and after the integration onto public clusters, a solution would be devised. • Dock6.2 was upgraded to Dock6.6, the newest version. • In order to determine the variability in results, Dock6.6 and Dock6.2 were run using the compounds from the Dock5 test suite.
Week 5: Finishing the Tests (Continued) • A previous prime student, Wen-wai, did research on virtual clusters. Her tests compared the results from running docking simulations on physical clusters against the results from running them on her virtual clusters. • Our results from running the same proteins on Dock6.6 were compared to the results from the physical clusters. • MPICH and Dock6.6 were compatible. They were able to run on all of the virtual machines. Different tasks were also assigned to individual machines.
Coming Up Next Week • The results need to be evaluated to ensure that the tests are precise if not accurate. • As soon as that is done, the virtual cluster can be moved to the NAIST cluster. • The firewall issue will then need to be fixed.
